He did get it together enough to win in the end, but wow, the last quarter was UGLY. In the post game interview, he called it sandlot football. It was all of that. He gets a B+(Which is still really good) for the game but an A for that last drive. He's incredibly competitive and it got the best of him for a bit. Fortunately, someone talked him off the ledge and he became the calm, cool QB we know him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I’ll ding him for is being shaky in the pocket towards the end. Aaron Donald had a very good day and the warm day here in WNY was nothing to the guys from LA.

But because he's willing to try and escape the sack he makes a few miracle plays per game. I don't ever want him to lose that.

He’s not Josh unlike he makes those ridiculous escapes and runs and ropes. Often times he makes great plays when he holds it too long. It’s not fair to expect him to make the right decision every time as to how much he should try to make a play when it looks impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take those away? He has another A+ game. All I ask is you don't let the flashy fantasy scores blind your assessment of his play this week. With that said, here is what I loved: - Flawless first half of football. He was in command at all times and showed franchise qualities that he is indeed the dude. - Trusting his WR's and spreading the ball all around the field - a mix of fastballs and loft change ups - his touch is unreal right now (Diggs laser in the endzone vs Ramsey was amazing) - He is our offense. 5 TD's total most importantly... - when things were bad, and we knew it was Josh Allen time, deep down I knew he would somehow pull it off. It reminded me of watching Brett Favre back in the day, or even Rodgers now. The 3rd down and long to Beez was just amazing. Then to follow it up with a game winner was must see TV! As Josh progresses and starts becoming weekly MVP talk, we need to be more critical and hopefully clean up the head scratching moments. Yes, maybe the INT should not have counted, but it did and lead to a complete snowball effect of a Rams comeback. Yes, when he avoids the blitz he sometimes makes nice throws down the field however yelling at a ref after a play and taking sacks in moments where we absolutely cannot allow it just cannot happen if we want to win playoff games. Need proof? Watch our last playoff game. Overall, Josh is playing at an incredible level and as a Bills fan I could not be happier. I invested tons of $$ in his rookie cards 3 years ago and right now those prices have absolutely sky rocketed. People are starting to believe, and I am sure networks are calling the league right now trying to get more Josh Allen on TV. B+ vs A-, who cares. We should all be celebrating as Bills fans. We have waited a LOOOONG TIME for this. GO BILLS!

Some of you refuse to give Josh an A unless he has a perfect game. Mahomes had a lot of bad plays and almost lost to a Chargers Rookie QB who did not know he was playing until literally the ball was in the air on the kickoff. I mean it happens. We needed plays, Josh kept moving trying to make plays when Donald and that pass rush broke through. And he still converted 2 different 3rd and 20+ plays on that game winning drive. For me, this was an A for him. Kid has over 1100 total yards, 12 TDs, 1 INT (That wasn't an INT), over 70% comp on the season and 2 4th quarter comebacks when our defense couldn't protect the lead. Him and Wilson are the clear leaders in the MVP race as of right now. Edited September 27, 2020 by Alphadawg7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipkid Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 As someone who grades subjective stuff, I gotta agree with OP—B+ seems fair. Those insisting on an A+ were either getting beer while Josh turned a seven-yard sack into a double digit sack and didn’t get rid of the ball, or perhaps, they’re still waiting for their participation trophy. An MVP season is not a matter of earning an A every time out. It’s more a matter of avoiding multiple D’s. Josh has been great, and we’ll probably have to watch some head-scratchers to enjoy the “did you just see that!” plays he pulls out of his hat. Personally, I most appreciate that for the past ten or so games and I see Josh walk onto the field with four minutes left and needing a TD, I honestly feel like the Bills will walk away with a W. Been a long time. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) I've doubted Josh all along, but not any more. I have never seen a QB with so many faults turn it around like he has this season. I don't blame him so much for that fumble, but like reigning the velocity of his throws, he must start wrapping up the ball even if it means a few less dramatic scrambles. Turnovers are killers and this is his last big hurdle to overcome. He simply must learn to put both hands on the ball and go down when he's in heavy traffic. Of course there will be some exceptions when a game is on the line. He also needs to limit the number of hits he's taking. Now that the light has come on for him, we can ill afford to lose him to injury. Edited September 27, 2020 by GreggTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it shouldn't have been an Int, but he also shouldn't have thrown into double coverage either, particularly with a guy like Kroft on the receiving end. If it were Diggs back, then not as concerning taking the chance. Very similar to last years deep pass to DeMarco. 1 hour ago, Rigotz said: Oh, and his O-Line was getting absolutely destroyed at the end of the game and he still made it happen on several third and long plays. Did he make a few mistakes? Yes. That doesn’t invalidate all of the points above. 1 hour ago, KD in CA said: This.....'shaky in the pocket' was a result of the jail break pass rush for most of the 4Q. Yes because defenses are figuring out that is the one thing he still can't seem to be able to handle. Either the Bills need to get better on their O-line to prevent this or Allen needs to learn to stop running backwards so much with the ball in one hand.
